DoorKing PC Compatible Multi-Door Access Controller 1838 - Manual (Page 23)

SECTION 3 – PROGRAMMING
IMPORTANT! Many of the advanced features available with this access control system cannot be
programmed from the system keypad. These features include relay hold open time zones, security
levels, anti-pass back tables, elevator control options and programming via the internet using DKS
servers. If any of these features are used, the system must be programmed with the DoorKing
Remote Account Manager for Windows software, VERSION 6.2 or higher. Refer to the software help
screen for more information on these features.
We strongly suggest that you read these programming instructions in their entirety before beginning
any programming of this access control system.
3.1 GENERAL PROGRAMMING INFORMATION
The DoorKing PC Programmable Access Control System is primarily programmed by using the
DoorKing Remote Account Manager for Windows software. However, the system can also be
programmed from the keypad in the control cabinet. When programming from an off site location with
a PC, the RING pin must be installed on the circuit board.
The PC programmable access control system has two relays on the circuit board, both of which are
programmable for any function required. These relays are designated as Relay 1 (R-1), and Relay 2
(R-2). If Tracker expansion boards are used with this system, it is very important that you understand
the function of these two relays. The wiegand input auxiliary terminals (also the Tracker board input
terminals) will cause R-1 or R-2 to activate. Therefore, if Tracker expansion boards are used with this
system, R-1 and R-2 are designated as Tracker board command (CMD) relays with R-2 controlling
tracker boards 1 through 8 (system relays 3-10), and R-1 controlling tracker boards 9 through 16
(system relays 11-18).
3.1.1 Programming with a PC
Prior to programming the system with a PC and the DoorKing Remote Account Manager for Windows
Software, there is certain information that you must know and must program into the system before
the computer can communicate with the system. See page 23 to set-up the access control system
for PC programming. Programming the system with a PC may be accomplished by modem, by direct
connection via the RS-232 communications terminal (requires 1818-040 cable), via the internet using
DKS modem servers, via the internet using DKS internet servers, or via a LAN connection. Using the
DKS internet server option or LAN option requires the 1830-175 TCP/IP kit be installed and the
DoorKing Remote Account Manager for Windows Software VERSION 6.2 or higher.
